The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences invites all its researchers and PhD candidates to join the Research Day 2025: It Takes a Village. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes the collective efforts of researchers and research support staff to develop impactful, high-quality research.
This event is designed to provide essential information and hands-on support on topics crucial for conducting your research. Whether you're seeking information on funding opportunities, data management, or lab support, or would like to broaden your network, this event will bring all aspects of research together for a fruitful and inspiring gathering.

Workshop round 1
This workshop reviews the legal and ethical foundations of informed consent, before tapping into the expertise of FSW’s qualitative and ethnographic researchers to explore how the ethico-legal ideals of consent can be reconciled with the realities of the field.
An occasion to collectively reflect on fieldwork experiences and research methods, and to exchange ideas with fellow researchers as well as colleagues from ethics, privacy and research data management.

In small groups, analyse your writing habits and preferences: What helps/hinders your progress? What motivates you to write? In what setting do you write best? How can you develop the “write mindset” and make writing more manageable, enjoyable, and productive?
Writing is a large part of your research career. Discuss ways to develop and sustain good writing habits.
By Ina Schabram and Maria Sherwood-Smith.
This session offers insights from our PhD “Scientific Conduct” course, exploring research integrity, ethical dilemmas, and systemic challenges in academia. Even when you are past the early career stage, working is science remains a challenging activity. We’ll discuss navigating grey areas, fostering responsible behavior, and maintaining trust in science—even beyond the early career stage. Looking forward to your perspectives!
